Chapter 358: 【154】Under the shelter, another world_5
At this depth, basically anyone who falls down here would be smashed into a pulp.
Yet at this moment, Wang Longhu appeared to save her, and this transformation from death to life left Zhang Yuanying a bit shocked and unable to react.
"Did you think I would be smashed to death?" Wang Longhu looked at the ice block embedded in the mountain wall, feeling a bit troubled.
Although he could move around easily in such an environment, carrying this ice block would make it very inconvenient to move.
However, if he didn’t take Tianle Daozhang away and left him in such a place, it would be a hassle to find Tianle Daozhang again after reaching the bottom and finding a way out.
"Do you know where this place leads to?" Wang Longhu asked.
Zhang Yuanying frankly shook her head: "I don’t know, the history of the White Lotus Society’s headquarters is too distant, unless it’s the White Lotus Saint Emperor, even the mistress does not know what secrets are hidden within this mountain."
"This is really troublesome." Wang Longhu sighed.
Currently, he also didn’t know where the bottom led to, adding the hidden danger of Jiang Tianzhen, he couldn’t just take Tianle Daozhang down recklessly, so it seemed he could only stay here for now.
Grabbing Zhang Yuanying’s waist, Wang Longhu quickly started to jump downward.
Each step he took was steady on the mountain wall, using brute force to leave footprints and maintain his balance.
Thus, Wang Longhu quickly descended deeper and gradually saw the bottom of the deep pit.
...
White stalagmites grew downward from the roof like stone spires, and faintly glowing plants grew out from the crevices, providing the place with a scarce amount of light.
Not far away, a dark green pool of unknown size and destination lay with its surface utterly still, not a single ripple in sight.
Yet this only made the bottom appear more mysteriously dangerous, making one easily scared to go into the water.
When Wang Longhu landed on the ground holding Zhang Yuanying, he couldn’t have imagined seeing such a scene before him.
"I can’t believe how spacious this mountain belly is." Wang Longhu remarked in surprise.
Before he came down, he had thought this underground might be some rugged pit bottom, and the White Lotus Society people would have thrown the corpses they had modified here.
Over time, this would become a chaotic mound of bones.
But now it seemed that Wang Longhu’s imagination was too vivid.
"It’s also my first time here." Zhang Yuanying was equally surprised.
Having lived for 19 years, it was her first time knowing there was such a hidden place beneath the White Lotus Society headquarters.
"Jiang Tianzhen is not here, and there are no footprints on the ground, strange." Wang Longhu observed around, finding no traces of anyone having been here.
Jiang Tianzhen not being dead was not good news for Wang Longhu, especially in a place like this with stalactite caves everywhere and such a complex terrain.
A master of Gang Qi hidden in the dark, preparing to launch a sneak attack, posed a significant threat.
"Stay behind me, don’t run far." Wang Longhu walked towards the pool, staring at the surface, sure he couldn’t see the situation below.
Wang Longhu picked up a piece of broken rock from the ground and flicked it into the water with all his might.
As the rock vanished beneath the water surface, the surroundings of Wang Longhu and Zhang Yuanying suddenly changed dramatically.
A dazzling upheaval ensued, spinning the world around, and the previously calm water surface erupted with torrents several meters high.
A giant dark shadow burst from below the water’s surface, quickly lunging towards Wang Longhu.
A stench accompanied by a fishy wind hit their faces, and Wang Longhu’s pupils suddenly dilated when he clearly saw the shape of the thing before him.
In this world, such a thing actually exists?
It was a giant serpent with horns on its head and small claws on its abdomen; more precisely, it was a flood dragon.
Bang!
Despite the shock, as a giant maw enveloped him, Wang Longhu still punched with all his might.
The flood dragon was struck on its chin by Wang Longhu, instantly unable to stop its backward flight, crashing back into the pool.
Seemingly aware of Wang Longhu’s extraordinariness, the flood dragon hid under the water again, and the pool returned to calm, with no trace of the dragon visible.
"What a terrifying creature." Standing behind Wang Longhu, Zhang Yuanying couldn’t help but kneel on the ground, her heart pounding like crazy at this moment.
If not for Wang Longhu’s intervention just now, with her reaction speed, she would probably have been swallowed whole by that flood dragon.
"Strange..." Wang Longhu looked at his fist, with a hint of doubt on his face.
Clearly, he had hit the target, but his fist was dry, and the feeling just now didn’t match the sensation of scales.
Wang Longhu frowned, very confident in his judgment, and with the spirit level at 20.00, Wang Longhu’s senses were hard to deceive.
That flood dragon certainly had something odd about it.
"What are you doing?"
Under Zhang Yuanying’s astonished gaze, Wang Longhu put his hand to his mouth and bit down hard.
Bright red blood seeped from the wound, dripping onto the ground.
The intense pain surged through Wang Longhu’s brain, instantly making the scene before his eyes incomparably clear.
On that pool’s surface, it wasn’t calm and empty at all; instead, a body clad in scale armor floated there, it was a person.
"Such a strong illusion, I didn’t even notice how I fell for it at all." Wang Longhu felt a sudden chill of fear.
Fortunately, with his spirit at 20.00, his perception was strong enough to realize there was an issue with that flood dragon.
